Pirkanmaa offensive

In summer 2018 Pirkanmaa conducted a large offensive against Uusimaa-targets claiming partial territorial victories.
Eventually Uusimaa's strong grip of its territories and resources stopped Pirkanmaa's advancement towards Helsinki.
Therefore Pirkanmaa failed its objective to separate Uusimaa's western and eastern fronts from each other.
Situation allowed Åland to pursue its independence while the battle of Parola’s heavy armor ended when armored vehicles were buried in Ilveskallio caves.

United Nations in combat

Rumors about Ilveskallio mass murders drove UN forces into a difficult situation.
Other UN observation fronts didn’t participate in the combat but trust on Uusimaa and Pirkanmaa
was lost and the future of the operation became uncertain. At the same time OSCE decided to end observation missions
in the middle of an escalating war.

Civilians in the center of the crisis

Battles have caused lots of grief and death amongst the civilian population in the warzone.
Casualties have risen up to hundreds. Rumors say that only moments before the explosion of the armoured vehicle hangars
the Civilians and the UN took many casualties when Pirkanmaa opened fire upon the approaching group of protestors
consisting of Civilians and UN soldiers.

Battlegroup 17

United Nations Peacekeeping Forces retreat from Finland after continuous raids from Åland and occasional clashes against Pirkanmaa and Uusimaa forces.

After UN’s retreat Ålandic forces have reduced their attacks against Pirkanmaa and Uusimaa. It seems that most of the Ålandic forces have retreated from the mainland.

UN forces now retreated and NATO is still closing its eyes from the conflict, many foreign combatants begin to flow into Finland to support both sides of the war.
Some come for political reasons others merely for the adventure and excitement.

This large force of volunteers fights on both sides along with their Finnish counterparts.
There are also theories that both sides receive unofficial military aid from foreign countries and organizations.

In early July Uusimaa attacks north along roads E63 and VT12 advancing all the way to road E12 and Hauho village.
Uusimaa isolates Pirkanmaa forces in Häme leaving road 57 their only route for service.
The 12th brigade of Uusimaa is assigned to assault and hold Parola city and road 57.

Whoever controls the area controls the fuel and Pirkanmaa aims to empty the storages before retreating from advancing Uusimaa troops.

After the events of summer 2018 the battle moved southwards and some civilians returned to the Ilveskallio area.
The mass murders and the UN withdrawing from the area forced the civilian community to establish a village police force
to protect the villagers and maintaining peace in and around the settlements.

Both fighting forces are friendly with the village police as it aims to provide security rather than fight against larger powers.
